This is the list of Korean Dramas that made me smile, laugh and cry.
Series that inspired me not to give up.
Stories that told me it's okay to dream big. It might come true.
Believe it or not, these stories gave me tips about life :)
Sometimes, you learn a lot from fiction.
And God is so good to me. He always allow me to see the different shooting locations of some of these dramas whenever I am in Korea by giving me "extra time or chances" to visit those places :) God answers unspoken prayers even silly wishes :)

If you will ask me when is the best time to watch a Korean Drama...watch it whenever you are feeling down and bored or missing someone. It is a good way of kicking that "bag of stress" on your side too.
I don't understand why there are people who eat dogs. Cats too.
I don't understand "food greediness" at all.
I am not being too righteous here. I go hungry too.
But being hungry don't mean I will eat anything and everything.
Yes, people are greedy when it comes to money and fame.
They are greedy when it comes to love and affection too.
But with food? Honestly, we are "too spoiled" by God when it comes to food.
We can eat all kinds of vegetables. We are allowed to eat grass too.
Not to mention the variety of fruits available for us.
I also read that there are kinds of flowers that can be eaten.
If we want meat, we can eat chicken and fish. The cows and the pigs can't escape too.
Their future lies on our plates.
I hated myself for eating pork sometimes.
My views about pigs changed after watching a documentary about a slaughter house.
And knowing that pigs are smart and there are few people who raise them as pets.
I vowed not to eat pork again. But I sometimes commit mistakes. And I am so sorry for that.
I love soups but not sharks fin soup.
I drink goat's milk but I won't eat its meat.
I adore horses but I will not eat one.
And I will never eat a lamb. Lamb reminds me of Jesus.
I know some people who eat goats, horses and lambs. It's fine.
I don't hate them.
I am not perfect. I am not nice all the time.
Especially to people who eat dogs. I don't make friends with them.
My brain is having a hard time grasping that idea.
WHY EAT A DOG?
Didn't they know that dogs are not created to be eaten?
Not everyone is smart I know.
But ignorance and foolishness should not be used as an excuse
A CAT SOUP?
That's the most insane thing to be written on a menu.
I love my country but there are many things I hate about it
which are done by some of my fellow Filipinos.
One of them is eating "dog meat"
Sad to say, it is very rampant in our country.
I am glad every time I see dogs being rescued.
I am also thankful to those different organizations who try their best
to rescue as many stray dogs and cats as possible.
It is very touching every time I read news about someone adopting
a rescued cat or dog.
There are bad people every where. But there will always be good people also.
Other than my country, I also love Korea. My second home.
But just like my motherland, it is not perfect.
Sadly, they have dog eaters too.
They rescue stray cats...not to make them as house pets
but as a "cat tonic".
I was very sad when I found that out. I got depressed.
Because I thought Korea is an ideal country.
My depression helped me find IAKA. (International Aid for Korean Animals)
I knew it. There will always be good people around.
I visited their website (koreaanimals.org)and learned about their mission.
They are the angels of every dogs and cats that are in danger in Korea.
Since then, I always give my support and encouragement to this group.
I happily helped them when they sent me a letter asking for help
to make a petition addressed to the President of Korea to stop eating dog meat
and making "cat tonics" and to educate their men about the proper care/humane treatment
that they should give to dogs and cats in their country.
Wow...a petition to the President of Korea.
It sounds both exciting and crazy.
I am just an ordinary girl. Why would a President read my letter?
Our own President doesn't even know me. Why would another country's President care about me?
But I sealed my envelope with my letter and post card from IAKA inside it
and sent it to the Blue House. Yes, to Korea's Blue House.
with no expectation at all.
But together with the envelope is my intention to help IAKA with their petition.
And a prayer for all those "captured dogs and cats" being sold in the meat market
in Korea to be safe. May they find a way to escape.
God blessed my heart. Look what I got! A reply to my petition!!!
Daebak!!! (Korean expression that means Awesome)
I never imagined I would get a letter of reply from their government.
I am very thankful.
Tonight, I pray (sorry if you think this is silly) that all dogs on earth would have a home and a loving owner. And all cats would have a soft and warm bed to sleep in.
To my reader, I encourage you to help stray dogs and cats too. Giving them food or water is one way of helping them.
and PLEASE DON'T EAT DOG MEAT! Instead, make that stray your best friend and you will be the happiest person on earth. I promise you :)
Maturity caught me off guard.
Though, I am not ready yet
Growing old is something I cannot avoid
No wall is big enough to hide me
Sometimes I find chances to hide.
Doors for quick escape.
Then suddenly, challenges will come like rain
and I am not spared from the pain.
It is true. Growing old makes you wiser.
I prayed for wisdom. I gain more knowledge.
I learned that truth is powerful.
and that a lie has its own life. It soon will die.
I learned that you do not have to answer back to a lie
and you do not need to prove what is true
Truth is bound to win.
Though, truth often is scary
I learned that everything changes.
Nothing remains the same. Even in a family.
A good person can do something bad.
A friend might become an enemy.
And an enemy can become a friend
Other than my parents, I will trust no one.
My Creator knows my fears.
There will always be someone who will betray you.
I have been betrayed before. Again, today.
Hard to accept when it is done by your family
Because they are important to me
I protect them. I fight for them.
I am loyal to my family.
Sadly, not all of them feels the same way
It is possible that the person who is hugging you,
is the same person stabbing you at the back
Hearing "I love you" is precious to me
I didn't know that it also means "I hate you"
Easy to say. I hear it many times.
Too much that it loses its meaning.
It is better not to talk anymore.
I learned that the person who praises you
can be the same person who will ruin you
Insults thrown at me will return to her
Cousins, Aunty or Uncle...they are all the same.
They are all humans. They love you
But also capable of hurting you.
Not everyone will like me.
Not everyone will accept me.
Even if we have the same blood
Blood is not always thicker than water
And family is not bound by blood
It is bound by love and trust
A person who is there when I am in trouble
Who will comfort me when I am crying
Who will defend me like a friend
Who will believe in me and really care
Who will protect and truly love me
I will call that person my family.
Though I am hurt and betrayed
I can still forgive but I will not forget
I will always love but not like before
I will give them a smile and
If they hugged me, I will hug back
I will still love. But in my mind, I now know that
There are people worth keeping and worth leaving
